Climate change is perhaps the most prominent of the global threats we currently face. A recent report by the UN, warns that  “unless actions are taken immediately,” the projected emissions “may lead to a temperature rise of about 2.7C by the end of the century” along with an end to all semblance of life as we know it today.

Earth.”
